Green Garnet & Diamond Drop Earrings

J31K
413 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

Beautiful demantoid (green garnet) and diamond drop earrings.
The demantoid is one of the most brilliant gemstones that exists, yet until recently it was little known except among collectors and gemstone lovers. Strictly speaking it is a green garnet, or rather the star of the green garnets. Not without reason does it bear a name which means ‘diamond-like’. The name comes from the Dutch and makes reference to the outstanding quality of this gem, its incomparable brilliance and fire. Some gemstone lovers claim that a demantoid will continue to glow even in the shade.
